After founding the Schneider glassworks with his brother Ernest in 1917, Charles launched two iconic lines: Le Verre Français and Schneider. Produced between 1918 and 1933, these collections showcased his innovative spirit and technical brilliance. The Schneider line, of which this dish is an example, focused on blown glass with vivid colors and flowing forms, emphasizing artistic spontaneity and craftsmanship. Techniques included hot-working, layering and internal coloring, resulting in more spontaneous, expressive pieces. Unlike the nature-inspired themes of Le Verre Français, the Schneider line leaned toward abstract and geometric forms, often with a more modernist aesthetic. In the Jade-Marbrines series, the emphasis is on the colors of shimmering semi-precious stones and marbles. The use of different powders between layers of clear glass creates striking cloud-like color effects that proved very popular.
